      Food is good, but I’ve been cautious and still have a lot left to try. I’ll get some pictures soon.

    HI Tim, also glad u arrived safely. I Would be in trouble with the pronunciation too- somehow that Bklyn accent wouldn’t help :). Hopefully, the repetition will help and one day you’ll realize , Wow, I’m saying it right. THe traffic would scare me. The food already sounds incredible. I’d be walking around with a little notebook writing amounts down to figure out the currency. Hope all goes well for you there. I’m a firm believer if we treat people with kindness, they will reciprocate and your one of the kindest people ai know . looking forward to your blogs love Linda

      Yesterday I ordered a chicken sandwich and got a fish sandwich . . . close, but not quite right. I am meeting some very kind people – shopkeepers, Uber drivers, etc.

    Miss your wonderful photos but your descriptive writing helps me picture the various experiences. Jeff was wondering earlier what you had for dinner, now he knows! So, ” yes” to food photos.

      Jeff would not go hungry here. He might even put on a few pounds!

      I know how to get the most essential items:) Beyond that, I’m just guessing, but I’m never disappointed.
